Be 'it known that li, lVILLiAM ONM', citizen of jche United Suites,'residing si; Houston, in he county of 'Harris :uid State of Texas, haveinvened certain new and useful lmprovements iii en @il und Gras Burner,of which the following is e speeilieiiziou. i

This invention relaes to new end useful improvements in an oil and. gesburner.

Une objeeiI or the invention is to provide -w burner of the characterdescribed which is seeeially adapted for the purpose ol" utilizing oilor was es u fueljmd which he readily adyisted for the use/oi1 one or iheother of seid 'fuels es desired.

Another object oi the iiiveiiioii to pro vide u burner which whileui'iliziiig oil s. fuel is also edspred he Consume die which Collects inilhe Yfuel tu'ol sind which would otherwise he Wasted.

A furher feuiure of ihe invention resides in 4ehe provision of :inugizitor .ieviug SPL ruled Janes end roi-utah?? me uted Within thenozzle whereby period; mixture of fuel and uir is ohieii er A. stillfuriher feature o'' the inveniou resides in the provision or" e meansfor iutroducing auxiliary air end mixing the same with the fuel. l-

A still further feature of the imfeuion resides in the provision of emeans for readily cleaning out the burner Wih-out the iieees sity ofleaking the same speri. i
